Don't forget the thousands of anti-zionist Jews in Iran who have lived there for hundreds/thousands of years and refused to move to Israel. There is still about 30,000 Jews living happily in Iran.

It makes sense that most Jews don't want to be part of the Israel project. All they ever wanted was to not be persecuted in the countries they were born in and to live normal lives. Thank you for an excellent history lesson.

I've been waiting for this. Thank you Katie & Zach 🤗 Free Palestine ✌️

Rejecting zionism and condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic.

I have known many Jews in my life. I lived in a part of Melbourne Australia which had a large Jewish community and went to school with them. They were friends. I loved living in that culture. I have also been a musician and played music with them. Some were the best musicians in town. I loved the intellectual conversation and the self deprecating humour. Zionism is a blight on the Jewish people.

The great thing about the internet is we can connect with reasonable Jewish people. I am Irish and there are no Jewish people in rural Ireland that I know, so it is important for me to link to Jewish people who share my view on Israel and Zionism. The Genocide in Gaza is one of the worst acts of humanity

# Free, Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉

Hannah Arendt discussed the problems with Israel and Zionism in her book Totalitarianism, 1951, which like her book on Eichner caused a lot of arguments against Arendt by Zionists.

I love listening to Zach he's so passionate about Palestine history and he breaks down the details so well.

You guys give hope ❤ This cant be easy, presenting the real history for people. It must be very hard on both of you trying to be on the right side of history. Plz take good care of yourselves…

Real Jews who stand for the Truth! The kind we want in Palestine instead of the fake ones

In our millions and our billions we are all Palestinian 🇵🇸🇮🇪

Thank you for this breakdown of Jewish anti-Zionist lineages.

I'm a lucky Gentile, I get to learn so much watching Katie's videos.

The most informative Israeli coverage out there.

Thank you guys for the insightful aspect to this topic

Yay! So happy to hear the information Zach has to share! Deeply informative…thank you for posting this clip after taking down yesterday’s show with missing audio.

As a Syrian Nationalist and anti-Zionist I agree with Zach Foster's opinions. However, I am also disappointed at the inaccuracies and lack of indepth knowledge of historical topics he claims to be an expert on. His amateurish interviews on youtube do a disservice to topics that are not only historically significant but also relevant to contemporary geopolitics of the region. The Jews of Iraq in the second half of the 1940's numbered 160,000 (give or take 5,000). Their greatest concentration was indeed in Baghdad but they certainly did not constitute 40% of Baghdad's population. Baghdad in the mid 1940's was the second largest metropolis in the Arab world. It had a population of 600,000 (give or take 30,000). Almost 10% (50,000 - 55,000 people) of Baghdad's population was Jewish. The second largest concentration of Iraqi Jews lived in the north of Iraq (Around 50,000 people). More than half of them spoke Kurdish or a mix of Syriac and Hebrew. A large minority (especially those who lived in Mosul and Erbil) spoke Arabic. The third concentration was in Basra where around 10% of the community lived. Small Jewish communities were also found in towns in the Sunni dominated Central zone in Iraq. Contrary to Zach's claims by the late 1940's and early 1950's the vast majority of Iraqi Jews wanted to leave Iraq. Already during the period of WW II dozens of Jewish families from Basra sold their properties and moved to Kuwait, Bahrain and the UK. There was an anti-colonial sentiment in Iraq which was already very strong in the late 1930's. Jews were associated with the British because they were more educated and affluent and because many of them were employed by the British authorities. The demise of the Jewish community in Iraq is a tragedy that Zionism also played a large (albeit not exclusive) role in. An historian should be better informed and more impartial.

Thanks!

Saudi Arabian here. My father's uncle 'Ali' emigrated from central Arabia (extreme poverty) to Baghdad in 1905, in search of a better life in a big rich city. He eventually became an extremely successful and rich businessman trading in food commodities. We visited him in his palatial Baghdad home in the summer of 1975. His business partner was an Iraqi Jew, who later emigrated to London. My brother searched and met his Jewish son in London recently.

You should brought up of the many PLO jew members, Katie.

Well how many Jews of post WW2 Europe actually felt that they were conscripted to repopulate Palestine and call it Israel?

Oh good, i can hear Zach. Important discussion

Subscribed. You bring great interviews & info to my daily life, Katie. Thanks for keeping me informed!!!

Don't forget Shabatai Tzvi and Jacob Frank... who convinced hundreds of thousands of jews that the way to bring about the 'Moshiach' and jewish salvation was to turn the lore on it's head and commit any kind of sin. Wife swapping became 'A Thing'. The 'Rebe' Schneerson leader of Chabad Lubavitch from '51-'94 was a 'Messianic' jew who had a profound influence on Netanyahu.

Great to get a historical perspective. Thanks for having Zach on.

Fascinating, thank you 👍

I'm learning so much from this channel. Thank you.

So glad to see this information out there. If only this is shared an known more profoundly. Good work 👍🏽

\0/ Katie re-uploaded this! 😊

Why history matters.

Zionism makes as much sense as believing i have a deep spiritual connection to Southern and Central Africa, because my ancestors came from there. My ancestors also came from Scotland, Wales, Norway, Central Asia and other places too. So I need to develop a mythology that gives me some provenance in my story and the fables of the Talmud and Bible are not quite up to it. Still it doesn't matter if I insert a few lies into these books I can establish enough lies to give the right to murder anyone who denies me the right to these lands. Religion, all of it, is just mythology at best and vile lies at worst. When will we adapt to our mortality and share the earth freely for our short lives in peace and love?

Most informative, thanks a lot

I want to know about,, thank you Katie

Thank you so much for covering this topic. I just started watching this series on Zionism and it covered the formation of kibbutzim and it brought up the Zionists inspired by utopian socialism and I’ve been curious about learning more.

We need more voices from the non-zionist and antizionist Jewish communities.

Insightful, thank you.

23 & me says I'm 1.3% Ashkenazi Jew and I'm definitely anti zionist. Count me in!

Need to watch this twice

Thanks to you both for speaking the truth 🙌 ❤ So much respect 🙏

What is the precise reference (title and author) of the 1919 book Zach Foster is mentioning? Thanks for anyone's help.

Wach. “ hidden history of Zionism “ by Robert Sepehr. It’s on you tube.

Why does no one EVER talk about the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, a country of Jews which existed before Israel?

I am so glad I found your channel. You are an amazing young woman that is a rare flower in this evil world. You tell the truth even if it costs you pain. Thank you young lady for being Honorable and for having the integrity to go against the narrative to shine a light on truth.

Read Protocols of Zion. Very insightful

Excellent

Young man is a vibrant speaker 👍

#freePalastine

Is there a reliable book on this topic? One that avoids antisemitism?

I speculate that Zach Foster's erroneous claim that Baghdad was 40% Jewish is because he read the entry on the Ottoman Census of 1917 in Wikipedia. The entry has a major error that anyone with basic common sense would easily detect. The Jews are stated to be 88,000. This is of course false as in the census of 1906 - 1907 the number of Jews on the entire Baghdad sanjak (province) was 13,621. It is probably a typo on behalf of Wikipedia and the number of Jews in 1917 was 18,000. This would also correspond to their number of 50,000 - 55,000 some 30 years later as there was a movement from remote towns (especially in Iraqi Kurdistan) to the capital as a result of infighting between Kurdish warlords as well as a distruption of peace between Kurds and Assyrians.

Thanks for history lesson.

Jesus, I thought I was a fidgety Jew. This guy can't sit still. His face is hyper-expressive. He makes me seem calm.

Whatever "side of the divide and conquer" fence you find yourselves folks.....just be WARY on one deadly thing. NEVER even consider......"thinking" LOGICALLY.....for YOURSELF!!! 😆

You should read "Coming To Palestine" by Sheldon Richman and have him on. This is a subject he has written about, in depth.

6:15 👏👏👏👏👏👏

❤

Free Gaza free Palestine from Israeli occupation

Praying for Armageddon a documentary on KZfaq very very informative

Thank you for the education. So interesting. Apart from the holocaust and the bible stories we don’t know the history, evolution and diversity of the Jewish faith. I thought only catholic faith have so many diverse branches. Thank you.

4:23 PLO (led by Arafat) had the same vision and manifesto.

I have a Headache.

Likewise, 43% of Palestinians in Palestine were Christian in 1947 - today, it's around 2%.

The man in the thumbnail looks like Andrew Schulz

Great interview! I have suspected for 30+ years that brother Yehudah is not in the Promised Land today. I'm sure there are pockets of Jews in Palestine, but as a whole, that isn't Judah. Israel's exile was an established fact in 721 BC., with the fall of Samaria. The descendants of the Northern Kingdom haven't been back, since the fall. I would appriciate it if people would stop calling it "Israel". It's Palestine, or at best, the Southern Kingdom of Judah maybe, but it's not Israel. Yes, I realize there were small pockets of Israelites still around in the days of YosYah/aka Josiah, but those were pockets of the Northern Kingdom that had avoided the Assyrian gathering, and deportation system. As a whole, the "Northern Kingdom" is still in exile, as is the "Southern Kingdom".

Point of interest: the Egyptian surrealist radical art movement in the first half of the 20’th century made up of arab Egyptians and jewish Egyptians

Just see Rabbi Beck or Rabbi Weiss

Ive seen this a million times. Rich peoples children demanding the air hostess get fired because they didn't get peanuts for the korean oligarchs daughter

It's like a self-proclaimed ghetto...

An Iraqi Jew talked about being shamed by Israeli Zionists because they didn’t want to move to Israel after its founding.

These people are fantastics.

😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

israel will maintain its historical form by claiming injustice towards itself despite its persistent bullying behaviour against Palestinians and other non-jews.

Here's the thing, you can't be a Jew if you're not religious, if you are Secular, then you're only Polish, German, Russian, or Ukrainian. Sure you have some of the culture attached to you, just like a secular Christian that was raised with all the holidays and customs. But a religious Jew believes that their God is the true God and that they are one of God's chosen people, and that one day the Messiah will come and they goy will basically exist just to serve them.. that is a problem in 2024 in itself. But they are patiently waiting. Zionist Jews come in two flavors, Secular, and ultra-Orthodox, ultra-religious, but they are tired of waiting for the Massiah and want to speed things up themselves. "Manifest" it. The problem is that the Ashkenazi Zionists somehow have made being a Jew both a Religion and a Nationality.

Theres no way id ever want to have children and have done to them what was done to me

Like God told ABRAHAM....Make Nations among yourselves....NOT 1 Nation..

JVP is a part of the Israel LObby

He failed to mention the best Jewish intellectuals who could see what Israel was from the start.

Hi! *handraise* My family's been AntiZionist since long before the founding of the modern Crusader state of Israel. L'chaim.

I guess this is just part of dying

My understanding is that Israel was a Ashkenazi project as Mizrahi Jews suffered racism leading to the creation of the Black Panthers and so on. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Don’t forget the most famous anti-zionist Jew … 🕊️ 👑 🩸✝️🩸 💖 🩸 💖Christ is King!!!💖 Free Palestine!!! 💖🇵🇸💖

This guy makes the bizarre claim that "40% of Baghdad was Jewish in the 1940's" 😂. This is nonsense. According to official CIA document, at the highest point the number of Jews in IRAQ in 1947 was 150 000 Jews (that's less than 3% of the ~5 million population), the population of Baghdad was 364 000, if you divide 150÷364 you get the magic number of 40%, so, this guy is trying to tell us that every single jew in Iraq lived in Baghdad 😮 😂. Also, according to the biased HOL /cause encyclopedia in 1940, 90 000 out of the 135 000 Iraqi jews lived in Baghdad, so if we extrapolate this (possibly exaggerated figure) to 1947 we get approximately 100 000 out of the 150 000 Iraqi Jews lived in Baghdad. So, AT MOST, 100 000 jews out of a population in Baghdad of 364 000 is 27%🤗. I feel this guy is trying to claim Baghdad 😂, please delete and correct his error in your video.

You mentioned Christian belief that Jews need to return to Holy land however you didnt mention the Muslims belief that before the day of Judgment all the Jews must return to the land too. Isnt it ironic that Quran states holy land is ancestral, spiritual and eternal homeland of the Jews yet spent most of past 75 years trying to destroy Israel.Go figure

Ahhh ... I can hear again 😂 I had no confidence in my ears. Katie ..... don't do a show with sound only, I won't believe my eyes 😂😂😂

OMNIPOTENT LOVE THANK YOU

I have seen 3 video's on YT recently showing bands of haradi Jews abusing British guards men/women, (the ones on horse back) on duty. All 3 groups of them numbered over 10 or more, abusing One guard.. .....I will not write here what I think of these s**m. But their behaviour is nothing new, it the normal thing for them........................PS... this video is completely spoilt by the main speaker. So much is just a jumble of words.

Thanks!

Thanks!
